alleryTwo leaves grow from 5 to 10 cm² and 50 to 55 cm² in one day. Their relative growth rates are:
AEqual because both add 5 cm²
BHigher in the initially larger leaf
CHigher in the initially smaller leaf
DZero because both remain leaves
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Higher in the initially smaller leaf
Each leaf adds 5 cm² in a day, so absolute rates are equal. Relative rates are 5/5 = 1 per day and 5/50 = 0.1 per day; the smaller leaf has the higher relative rate.
